Niken’s approach to architecture is based, above all, on rationality, her personal experience, and design exploration. During her study in Bandung, she learnt that practical and functional thinking is most important, without reducing the aesthetic of the building itself. She learnt to put great care into details and also to appreciate historic heritage. After graduating from her architecture manners, she gained her experience in Indonesia and Singapore as an Architectural Designer. For her, architecture is a never-ending journey that always educates from time to time. Thus, with a bundle of experiences and being an eager learner, she believes that architecture can bring human civilization and society forward with a good mutual relation with the environment.
